In the film Riley is happy in Minnesota with her friends and playing hockey and it then comes to her surprise when her parents are surprised with the fact that they will be moving to San Francisco...this is where the literary theme of the film gets explored and we dive deep into the dilemma. Riley is moving to a place where she is completely alienated and has to start over, this explores the literary theme of adapting to a new environment or “change” and her emotions are trying to adjust to this as well, as we flash back into her mind the emotions are disagreeing mainly joy and sadness, joy feels as if sadness ruins everything she touches and is not necessary for Riley's development and this leads to both characters getting shot out of HQ and leaving the other emotions to take over Riley which causes major conflict. This dilemma that stirs up while Joy and Sadness are gone is Riley not making friends at school, hating the food in San Francisco, and butting heads with her parents. As we reach ¾ of the movie we get to Joy and Sadness learning about why sadness is necessary for Riley's development, they go through the islands in Riley's mind and complete tasks in each one to make it back to HQ, the final one requires to find an imaginary friend of Riley's which is “Bing Bong” they need him to get back to HQ and later he sacrifices himself so they can make it back. While these emotions are away, Anger, Disgust, and Fear have done a worse job of keeping Riley’s state of mind; to the point where Riley was just a minute away from getting on a bus and running away from her life. When Joy and Sadness get back to HQ the problem is resolved when Joy finally lets sadness take the wheel and has Riley experience sadness to where she misses home and can’t imagine a life without her parents and decides to stay and adjust herself to her new environment. In the end, it is realized that for us to develop in early life we need to experience every emotion whether good or bad it helps us grow.

Welcome to the Mind of Riley

britnishac — 2024-10-22 13:56:49 UTC

"You ever look at someone and wonder, what's going on inside their head?"

Our story centers around an 11-year-old year named Riley, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Andersen, as well as all of her emotions such as Joy, Sadness, Fear, Disgust and Anger. These characters are the reason we are able to get a deep insight into Riley's mind as they foreshadow Riley's decision making in the movie while trying to guide her in life. What Riley doesn't know is that her world will be turned upside-down and inside-out when she and her parents move to San Francisco.

Moving from Minnesota to San Francisco

This scene takes part early on in the movie, originally Riley was excited, optimistic, and curious until she arrives to the new house and is disappointed, disgusted, and upset. This is the first time we see all of Rielys emotions reacting all at once (time : 1:49). It significantly impacted her character development by allowing her to navigate her emotions while adjusting to her new home.

Riley's first day of school

britnishac — 2024-10-22 15:55:21 UTC

During Riley's first day of school is when Sadness touches a core memory, turning the memory sad and leaving all core memories to fall out their spots. This is the first time we see Riley sad and accepting it instead of optimistic. While Joy goes to reclaim them, she and sadness are sucked out the command center. This left Riley feeling extremely empty and changed her personality completely. Resulting in a negative effect in her relationships, Islands such as Goofy, Friendship, and Family Island to be destroyed.

Riley Runs Away

britnishac — 2024-10-22 16:40:54 UTC

Due to how's she's been feeling since moving, anger takes initiative making Riley decide to run away. During this time, Joy falls into "The Forgotten" with the imaginary friend "Bing Bong" and Sadness. Through looking at a flashback of Riley missing a winning shot, Joy has a reality check and realizes that Sadness is just as important in Riley's as Joy. Which impacted character development since normally Joy tries her best to contain Sadness.

Riley's numbness lead her to act out of character, after developing a deeper sense of her emotions, she realizes that all emotions are important to shaping who she is, bringing back light into her life. She decides to go back home and stop suppressing her feelings.

Happy core memories turn sad

britnishac — 2024-10-22 17:06:22 UTC

After arriving back to head quarters, Joy gives Sadness 4/5 of the core memories and they turn sad. On the Last core memory, Sadness and Joy come together to make a mixed core memory (bittersweet i would say). This shows development because Riley finally voices that she misses her life back in Minnesota but realizes that just means she has something to be grateful for, not angry about.

In the end..

After the moments above, she has not only rebuilt her old islands but created new ones, building stronger relationships and renewed her love for hockey. WOOHOO!

Character Identity and Theory Validity

samayahreed — 2024-10-22 21:07:51 UTC

In "Inside Out," the main character is Riley, an 11-year-old girl navigating life after moving to a new city. The movie personifies her emotions—Joy, Sadness, Fear, Anger, and Disgust—who live in her mind and influence her thoughts and actions.The film explores how these emotions interact and contribute to Riley's overall emotional well-being after moving to a new city. By showing how Riley's internal emotions interact with her external environments this aligns well with Bronfenbrenner's theory, showing the complexity of emotional development.

Times when the Theory applied

2024-10-23 02:01:31 UTC

Throughout the movie Riley had many emotions, these emotions would often argue with each other, this was an everyday thing for Riley. Rylie's five emotions are Joy, sadness, fear, anger and disgust. This relates to Bronfenbrenner's theory because Riley's emotions got thee best of her in different situations and environment's. For example, when Riley moved from Minnesota to San Francisco, her emotions were really getting the best of her. She constantly thought that she would not fit in and not make any new friends. Another time when Rileys emotions (Brenfenbrenners theory) got the best of her was towards the end of the movie, when Riley began to crush on a boy that she had saw. This really made all of Rileys emotions sky rocket. Throughout the movie Riley fell into depression. She had too much commotion and stress going on in her life to the point her emotions got the best of her. Riley would also commonly have Anxiety attacks. I would tie this into Brenfenrenners theory , because. she would always feed of the energy of her surroundings. For example, Riley would be out hanging with her friends, the vibes will be perfect, but the moment the slightest inconvenience approaches, everything will go down hill. Riley would also tend to act out and throw tantrums, for example, when Rileys mother tries to convince Riley to try out for a new Hockey team, Riley immediately gets annoyed, Riley kinds of just ignores her at first, however, as her mother kept talking she then lashes and goes off on both her father. Riley would have these often have these episodes, but it was not because she was being a brat, they simply just came from the simple fact that her emotions were skyrocketing. Riley's emotions even had memories of flashbacks stored in a unit in a secret department in the the back of her brain. As she got older, her emotions would revisit the memories when she was in similar predicaments, and they did this so they know how to go about the situation. Bronfenbrenner's theory proposes that human development is shaped by a complex system of interactions between a person and the environment that they are in, which you can see this within Riley throughout the movie. Riley's emotions varied based off where she was at and who she was surrounded by.

Bronfenbrenner's Theory Model

Bronfenbrenner's Biography

jimiadavis9 — 2024-10-23 02:45:02 UTC

Urie Bronfenbrenner was a psychologist, most known for his work in developmental psychology. Bronfenbrenner was born in Moscow and immigrated to the U.S. at six years old. His academic journey took him through highly regarded schools including Cornell University for his bachelor's, Harvard for his master’s, and the University of Michigan for his Ph.D. Bronfenbrenner is most famous for creating the Head Start program, which focuses on early childhood education, and his groundbreaking Ecological Systems Theory.

Major Components of the Theory

jimiadavis9 — 2024-10-23 02:47:57 UTC

Microsystem: This is the immediate circle—family, friends, school, work. It’s the closest layer to you and where most direct interactions happen.
Mesosystem: This layer is about the relationships between the parts of your microsystem. For example, your parents' relationship with your teachers and how that affects your school life.
Exosystem: You don’t directly engage with this system, but it still affects you. A classic example is your parent’s workplace. If your parent loses their job, it impacts your home life.
Macrosystem: This is the overarching cultural and societal environment. It includes societal norms, economic systems, laws, and even political ideologies that indirectly shape who you are.
Chronosystem: This system adds a time dimension, covering life transitions (like getting married, or a pandemic) and broader historical events that influence development over time.

Beliefs and Assumptions

jimiadavis9 — 2024-10-23 02:52:21 UTC

Context is everything: Bronfenbrenner believed that development isn’t just about what happens to you it’s also about where it happens. From your family to your school to the culture you live in, every environment plays a role in shaping who you become.
Cause and effect, but also choice is involved: You’re not just a product of your environment; you also influence it. The relationships you build, the choices you make—these all affect the people and systems around you, and they, in turn, affect you.
Development is never-ending: You don't stop developing at any point. Bronfenbrenner saw development as a lifelong journey, continuously evolving based on your experiences and environments.
Culture shapes everything: He was big on the idea that you can’t separate someone from the larger social and cultural context they live in. Whether it’s your country’s values or the way your community operates, culture has a major influence on who you are.

Critique of Theory

jimiadavis9 — 2024-10-23 02:58:16 UTC

Bronfenbrenner places too much focus on Environmental factors and leaves out other critical factors, like biological or cognitive influences on development. Also, although this theory is easy to comprehend, it is too difficult to test. How do you study the impact of multiple relationships over different periods of time?

Finally, Bronfenbrenner's there does not dive deep into how internal processes (like reasoning, problem-solving and other thought process) contribute to development. Whereas, theories like Piaget’s cognitive development theory, do a better job of covering that aspect.

Bronfenbrenner's Theory and Riley's emotions

samayahreed — 2024-10-23 03:20:02 UTC

Bronfenbrenner's Theory can be observed through Riley's emotions- Joy, Sadness, Fear, Anger, and Disgust- with the new city she has moved to. The microsystem is noticeable in her interactions with family and friends, which shapes her emotional experiences. The mesosystem reflects how her school life impacts her home emotions such as when she had a bad day at school and didn't want to be bothered when she got home. The exosystem is represented by her family moving to a new city, an external factor that greatly affected her emotional state. The macrosystem is shown when Riley is pressured to maintain happiness, especially when Joy attempts suppress Sadness when making decisions. Lastly, the chronosystem is expressed when Riley transitions into adolescence, showcasing how her emotions evolve over time in response to Riley's significant life changes. Bronfenbrenbrenner's Theory shows the complexity of emotional development as influenced by both internal feelings and external contexts.

Riley's Pyscho-development

samayahreed — 2024-10-23 03:26:03 UTC

Bronfenbrenner's Ecological Systems Theory offers a framework for understanding Riley's psychological development in "Inside Out" by emphasizing how her emotions are deeply intertwined with her environments demonstrating the multifaceted nature of growing up and having to learn how to manage your emotions.

Conclusion

2024-10-29 23:08:14 UTC

In conclusion, Bronfenbrenners ecological systems theory shapes Riley into the character she is. As time goes on, she overcomes certain fears, tries new things, and even makes new friends. Although bronfenbrenners theory made Riley very emotional, he also made her gain confidence as a person.
